<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1312342, member: 19463"]I see no reason to doubt your coin. I consider VF about right since the nose is not flat and there is some detail left in the flower. I suppose I could be hardline and suggest aVF but can live with VF as well. My coin is of a different magistrate and has more wear so I call it Fine. I consider them of very similar style. I suspect someone has listed the magistrates but that does not mean that we have a correct order or dates assigned. I do not own the reference that does. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]147979.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=278270" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=278270" rel="nofollow">http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=278270</a></p><p><a href="http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=278270" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=278270" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></p><p><a href="http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=278270" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=278270" rel="nofollow">CNG sold the one above (a bit less worn) as VF and described it:</a></p><p><a href="http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=278270" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=278270" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></p><p><a href="http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=278270" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=278270" rel="nofollow">ISLANDS off CARIA, Rhodos.
